It is a shame that Thilakan never got the Bharath award for his role in Perumthachan.<BR/>Gopi sir was a good student of my maternal grandfather(Prem nazir being another student) in Chirayinkeezh near TVPM. A humble person who treats everyone equally - a rare soul. Heartless malayalam industry folks never cared for this actor when he was bed-ridden nearly 20 years back. 20 year loss for malayalam films. Padmarajan, aravindan, bharathan, ...now Gopi sir.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435203957622116604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-3303836100242632862008-01-30T00:25:00.000+05:302008-01-30T00:25:00.000+05:30I just read about Gopi's passing away after I came...I just read about Gopi's passing away after I came to know of his hospitalisation last week. This shd not have happened. A supreme artiste. Now he will enact a new role, out up there with Smita Patil and Aravindan. Chidambaram, Kodiyettam. Sadly, only too real now. For all his talent Gopi only merited a Padma Shri, while our highly paid ballebaaz Sachin will soon be conferred the <B>Padma Vibhushan</B> no less. I remember reading about Gopi visiting Madras unknown, and unseen, to attend Sivaji's funeral, saying he was simply being a fan and not an actor.trutihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313354254836558451noreply@blogger.com
